Gender Inclusive Housing

Gender-inclusive housing is a policy that provides MIT students with the option to live in residences with whomever they choose, regardless of biological sex, gender, or gender identity.

Gender-inclusive housing is available in the majority of undergraduate and graduate residence halls, except in areas (including houses, entries, and/or floors) designated as single-gender.

  • This is a voluntary housing option. No student will be assigned to gender-inclusive housing unless they request it.
  • MIT discourages students of any sexual orientation who are in a relationship from living together in a residential room.

Students who are interested in living in gender-inclusive housing should indicate this on their housing or waitlist application.

Any student who has questions or concerns about their housing options should contact Housing & Residential Services directly.
